A warrior walks, separate not alone
He must have space, his skills to hone
Though injured in his line of work
The call to arms he cannot shirk
Recovered from the felling blow
The warrior knew twas time to go
He packed and travelled, headed to
A place of great challenge, a struggle new
Our Knight, he was a fighter at heart
Impressing companions from the start
And where he went to learn new skill
There waited a Brotherhood of iron will
Founded on kinship, sealed as if by blood
Their wills as one, a striving flood.
Back in the fight, with these Brothers new
The young knight learned what to do
A Christian man with faith in God
He walked the path great Brothers had trod
A diamond rough, put to the grind
Sound of character and of mind
Beloved of the Brothers, and of others before
The Warrior was pure, down to his core.
But wounds sometimes but pretend to heal
And the strongest and best of us was made to kneel
His life is different, barely hanging on
No one knows if this Warrior will live to see dawn
The thing about Brotherhood, about battle and strife
Is that bonds that are born last all your life
When striving together, blood, sweat, and tears
Create such a bond that otherwise would take years
The Brothers arise, warriors of battle and also of prayer
Telling sweet Warrior and his family, they are there
The thing about warriors, is that for you they’ll ****
But they’ll also pray with all the might of their will
Dear God, take our strength, please unite us as one
Grant our power to Will, until he has won
If it be in Your will, if now be his time
Then take him, Lord, and leave us behind
But we beseech you, as Brothers we kneel,
That you might touch Will, his injuries to heal.
We hurt while he hurts, as family should
Because will is a part of this eternal BROTHERHOOD
We love you forever, and we beg you again
Heal our good Brother, in your name, Amen.
